    • RS485 transmit errors

      Hello,

      I am trying to setup a RS485 gateway on a raspberry with an arduino node.

      Raspberry gateway is build with

      ./configure  --my-gateway=ethernet --my-port=8011 --my-transport=rs485 --my-rs485-serial-port=/dev/ttyAMA0 --my-rs485-de-pin=37
      

      The arduino sketch is configured with

      #define MY_DEBUG
      #define MY_RS485
      
      #define MY_RS485_DE_PIN 2
      
      #define MY_RS485_BAUD_RATE 9600
      #define MY_BAUD_RATE 9600
      #define MY_NODE_ID 2
      

      On each RS485 I have a 120 ohm resistor. The arduino and the raspberry are very close so the wires are short

      The parent request from the node to the gateway fails. I have added extra logging on each side, and I see following issue

      • the parent request is received by the gateway
      • but the response to the node is corrupted.

      The gateway write following bytes

      • 1 -> SOH
      • 2 -> destination node
      • 0 -> source address
      • 88 -> command
      • 8 -> message length
      • 2 -> STX

      The node receives

      • 1 -> SOH
      • 65534-> destination node -> ERROR
      • 0 -> source address
      • 65496-> command-> ERROR
      • 8 -> message length
      • 2 -> STX

      As you can see some bits are corrupted
      Expected destination node =2 (in binary 0000 0000 0000 0010), while we received 65534 (in binary 1111 1111 1111 1110). The leading bits are 1 instead of 0
      Same issue about command byte.
      It is 100% reproductible, this message is always received with same values so I don't think it is caused by noise or something like that.

      Any idea about the root cause?
